Site of the the body that elects the President and Vice President of the United States every four years (The National Archives and Records Administration 2020)

Visitors can explore Frequently Asked Questions about this uniquely American component of presidential elections, view a helpful video that provides an overview of the college, and check out historical Electoral College results. Election results dating back to 1964 are mapped on this website, and visitors can view these results on a timeline in order to explore how state party leanings have shifted over the past half century. Perhaps the highlight of this website is the Make a Prediction section, which provides users an interactive map that allows visitors to predict the result of the 2016 election by projecting the victor of each state and the resulting tally of electoral votes. This feature is especially helpful for teaching the workings of the Electoral College - and its significance in U.S. presidential campaigning - to students.
